5-Star Hotels in Central Java, Indonesia

This is a beautiful property with clean well appointed rooms. The gym has good equipment and the pool is great. The only thing that I was not happy with is the hotel changed their policy about using the sauna and steam rooms. I have been visiting this hotel every year and this is the first time I was denied entry because I booked a superior room instead of a deluxe room. I believe this is a bad policy.

We arrived at the hotel in the evening; the interior had a distinct Southeast Asian feel. During the day, the surrounding environment looked like an oil painting. Perhaps because we spoke a little Indonesian, the staff were incredibly welcoming, inviting us to take a shuttle bus up to the mountaintop for a panoramic view of Borobudur – absolutely amazing! Actually, the entire mountain belongs to them; the hotel is at the foot of the mountain, the villas are on top, and there's also a peacock garden and a small deer park. The hotel offers many activities, such as horseback riding and making batik (a traditional Indonesian craft), all very interesting. The staff also mentioned that many of them live on the mountain, their homes very close to their workplaces. We were so envious! You can easily book a Grab ride from the hotel; it's less than ten minutes to Borobudur, very convenient.

This is my go-to hotel every time I'm in Semarang for business. It's the tallest building in the city, and staying on a high floor offers incredible panoramic views of Semarang. It's also very close to the airport, just a fifteen-minute drive away. The hotel lobby had a wonderful Christmas atmosphere.

Excellent location right in the heart of Semarang. The room facilities and bedding are a definite upgrade compared to other local hotels like Louis, Aston, and Holiday Inn. If you've stayed at any of those for business trips to Semarang, you should definitely give Ciptutra a try. Recommended!

Breakfast a la carte is very very nice, fresh fruit is also great The room is made up twice, very friendly staffs The location is amazing as you can see Borobudur from the Patio restaurant (where you will have breakfast) Amenity is truly lacking: no gym of its own, instead need to go to its sister hotel : Plataran Heritage, the shared gym is a dusty small room with one treadmill, one workout dumbbell set The spa also looks quiet old, we ended up going to another hotel for spa

I came during high season so maybe the cleaning staff wasn't very detailed (we found popcorn at floor and some stain at bed sheet). I complained and the staff handle it very well. However this hotel located at strategic place so near from central city. The hotel is connected to a mall, so it's very helpful for families with children (I brought a 1-year-old baby) if there are baby items that we forgot to bring from home. We can buy them at the mall. Breakfast is complete but maybe if they have ”nasi tim” it will be perfect. (In this case because my baby cant eat rice yet) Thank you Po Hotel

Its a beautiful hotel with wonderful ameneties and room. The entire stay from check-in to check out went so smoothly, we didn't have to worry about anything after a long car trip! I also want to give a warm thank you to Kak Ida at front office who is so friendly and helpful when we were checking in. Had an incredible stay! Will be coming back here in the future.

I had booked and stayed for 2 nights with my wife and parents, everything (such as service, location, atmosphere, the condition of the room, etc…), we were very satisfied. So we have decided to prolong one more night, and we were very happy. Last year my wife, I, and my parents stayed at Tentrem in Jogjakarta, and we were satisfied. Last month my parents with my siblings also stayed there (Tentrem in Semarang) for their trip and they were satisfied as well. If I really have to put something a bit pity: - The ‘entrance’ of the basement parking is a bit small for the car - The air condition (the temperature) during the breakfast was a little bit hot. Beside those two, we were very satisfied 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The hotel facilities are excellent, with spacious, bright rooms and incredibly comfortable bedding. The front desk staff were warm and professional, ensuring a swift check-in. Its prime location offers great convenience for dining and shopping. A special shout-out to the swimming pool, which is meticulously maintained. I'll definitely choose this hotel again!

Overall, one of the best hotels in Solo Positive: - within walking distance from the shopping mall - clean room and bathroom -  refurbish/renovated room Negative: -  service is a little slow -  a little far from Central Solo
